I was re-reading Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone a couple of days ago, and I noticed something. pg. 130 (U.S. edition): They found their beds at last: five four-posters hung with deep red, velvet curtains. Their trunks had already been brought up. So I had a few questions: -How were there 5 beds in the room if the students hadn't been sorted yet? When were the beds placed there, and how? Did someone conjure them up? -Who brought their trunks up? And when did someone bring them up? During the feast? Thanks for writing your thoughts. I was just curious, and I wanted to know what others thought! --------------------

Being Chosen by a Wand at Ollivander's Posts: 2,963 Joined: 8:53am April 20, 2006 Location: Prifysgol Bangor Univeristy, Bangor, Cymru	I also wondered how on earth could 14 dormitories (girls and boys yrs 1-7) could fit inside one tower and have a Common Room. It must either be one big tower, or perhaps it has been enchanted to appear bigger like the tent at the Quidditch World Cup. It must also be a lot of stairs to get from the Common Room to the seventh years dorms! I'm also interested in how tha portrait works: how it openes etc. I know we see it in the fim but I keep feeling the portrait it out of size to the people. Would it not also be pretty obvious? Any other students walking past seeing people using the portrait like a door is going to know. Or would that not make any difference as they wouldn't know the password... -------------------- "...because if there is one thing I've learned from all I've been through, it's that you only regret the things that you didn't do."

It must also be a lot of stairs to get from the Common Room to the seventh years dorms! Girls and boys are on two different staircases. There could also be more than one dormitory per floor or staggered floors, so although the tower must be high, it doesn't have to be that high. -------------------- W.L.Y.J. We love you Jo
